OVER THE TRACES.

Pat Collins, of massachusetts, Comes Out
Against the Present Administration.
Washington Special.
A cable dispatch in the New York World Of to-
day to the effect that ex-Con gresham Pat Col
Inns, of Massachusetts, had in an interview in
London, come out fairly and squarely against the
administration of President Cleveland, has
caused a decided sensation in Washington. In
the interview Collins represented having
declined the secretaryship Of war, rendered
him through William II. Barnum. the
President having determined to make En-
dicott a scapegoat for the administration
blunder touching the rebel flags. That Collins
should come out he is hero represented
having done, is very significant of the deep
seated opposition Clevelands denomination
throughout the Democratic party. There
doubt the administration has builded somewhat
on it's hopes of carrying massachusetts next year
by the aid of the mugwump vote. but if 1t has
lost the Irish vote there, and Collins certainly
speaks for large part of that people in his
State, Cleveland will not have ghost of a show,
and then, too, George William Curtis is ve-v
free to declare that the mugwumps
not all satisfied with the way
affairs have been administered touching civil
service reform; that all hope of the Bay State
must be set aside. The President has done
much of late to try and keep Collins in line
with the administration policy. The appoint
ment CT Trotter the new recorder OF deeds
has all been to no purpose. 1t Is very clear that
Grover Cleveland is not going to get hearty sup
port from the Irish voters In 1888. The fact,
too, that Powell, the avowed administration can
didate, before the recent Cleveland convention,
could command majority on the first bal
lot, gives an indication of the drift OF sentiment
in the Democratic party The administration
begins to make out the handwriting on the wall.

PAUL DE CAssAGNAC is the fighting editor

mixed up in a good many duels. When NJ.
Laur a member of the Chamber of Deputies,
recently made some charges rejecting on
De Cassagnac denounced the charges as false
and their author as liar. Upon this M. Laur
challenged him to duel. AS professed
duelist, it was to be expected that De Cassag-
nae would accept the challenge. Instead of
that he declined it until M. Laur should fur
nish proof of the truth of his charges against
Boulanger, adding that until such proof was
furnished he, De Cassagnac, should treat M.
Laur with contempt. Upon this M. Laur
posts him as coward. Without assuming
to be expert in questions of the
code, we should say that M: Laur has
decidedly the best of the controversy
According to the code, he quite
justified in challenging De Cassagnac for call
ing him liar and it is begging of thequ
ton for the latter to reply to the challenge by
demanding proofs of the original assertions.
NJ Laur offers to prove the truth Of his asser-
tons by fighting, and if De Cassagnac was
not willing to accept that mode Of arbitration,
he should not have given M. Laur the deadly
provocation of calling him liar. De Cassag-
nae has long been known a bully, and it
looks very much as if he were a coward.

WASHINGTON, July % -The details of

the local police courts. DIR. w. Fl. Crawford is

offender. An effort was made by Crawford and
mis- friends to settle the difficulty amicablv and
it is said Crawford offered to marry Miss White
These efforts for amicable ADJUSTMENT, how
ever failed, and this afternoon Crawford was
arrested and taken before a magistrate, charged
with criminal intimacy with Miss White, under
the recent act OF Congress. known the Utah
act, which defiues s1ch intimacy with female

her consent rape. The defendant waived
examination and gave bonds to answer before
the court. Special interest attaches to this case
under the Utah act, well account of the
official and social standing of the accused. The
act in question was intended specially to apply
to Utah, but since its passage it has been dis
covered that it applies to every Territory OF tho
United States.

A WASHINGTON special of most astonishing
character appears In the St. Louis Post-Dis
patch. A member Of the Missouri delegation
sent to invite the President to visit the State
fair is engaged it seems, when on his native
heath. in the business of manufacturing tooth
picks. He thoughtfully brought some of his
toothpicks along and presented the President
with three bottles of them, accompanying the
gift with the following remarks:
Mr.. President. permit to present you
these toothpicks which you will find to be the
best you ever used. One bottle is for you, one
for your estmable wife, and this little one you
can use as future occasion may require"
The President according to this account, took
the bottles and replied:
These not new to me, and have more than
once regretted and rebuked myself for not &C
knowledging the receipt of former bottle of
the same. / found them to be the best picks
that have ever used, and gave few of them
as a special favor to my most distinguished
guests, In every instance enjoining them after
using them to put them in their pockets and not
throw them away as they would the ordinary
kind for if they did they would regret the loss"
If the alleged dispatch is genuine it proves
that Mr.. Cleveland realizes that ne is wanted in
St Louis for the sole purpose of advertising the
town and is willing to go further and ad-
vertise individuals If the special is of home
manufacture-an art not unknown in ST. Louis
it still proves that the people determined
to the President for all he is worth and that
the newspapers will not scruple to aid In the
effort.

THE TREASURY SURPLUS.

Superficial writer's demand the reduction of
the accommodating surplus by methods which,
experience teaches, are sure to increase it for
while, and then end in bankruptcy. Their
demands are rather in accord with their pre-
JUDGES and their ignorance of economic law
than in behalf of reduction of the surplus.
Usually it is the case that such persons have
more interest in carrying out their preconcep-
tons than in securing any substantial good to
the country. In this case, if public policy
was conformed to their demands, there would
be the repetition of such experiences as the
country has before passed, but so long ago
that new generation has come on the stage
of action. With such history and experience
it is hardly worth while to more than refer
to those times, for it would seem to challenge
the intelligence of the American people to
suppose that they would again repeat the folly
of the past. The plan proposed for re-
ducing the surplus is to reduce the tariff on
imports. The tariff of 1884 was what was
called a revenue tariff, and yet, while the
reduction was one-haf the former rate, the
importations were increased more than three
times, and where the revenue was before fair,
it was by the reduction greatly increased. OF
this not the worst feature of that
public folly. Under that tariff the people of
the country became impoverished, broken
down in their industries and in the attempt
of the public empires to enrich the people by
opening the worlds cheap markets to buy in
T,
Tyler had to discount his salary claims on the
government to brokers toward the end of the
wrecking period, when people could no longer
buy imported goods, or any other kind, except
absolute necessaries. The country has too
much intelligence in it to go over that road
again in an attempt to reduce the surplus
There are useful ways in which the surplus
may be kept as low it ought to be, by in
telligent use of the funds for the public good.
The present administration has shown itself
totally inadequate and incapable in this direc-
ton. Even a few Democrats have intelli-
gently pointed out some of these methods,
but the in control of affairs
either had no confidence in the ability of the
themselves capable enough to comprehend
their Importance to the country. And So
from sheer necessity, they have constantly
looked backward rather than forward for
some way to keep back the surplus The
manager of a business who, finding his con-
Germ accommodating large surplus, should go
deliberately about reducing it by cripplng
his own business, would be considered a fool
And yet that is what is now proposed in pub
lie affairs. With economic affairs adjusted to
produce high condition of prosperity, we
find national administration totally incapa-
BILE of utilizing the fruits of this prosperity
for the public good. And empires, either
ignorant of disregarding experience join
their voices to the cry for public and private
ruin, in order to reduce the surplus.

THE circumstances of McGarigle's escape
recall those Of Captain Howgate, a govern

in Washington, few years ago. In both
cases the prisoners were allowed extraordinary

entertain the jailer while the convict escaped.
1t may be added that in both cases the out
